Our Top 150 Big Board Risers and Fallers. Plus, Don’t Be Surprised If …

In this episode of The McShay Show, host Mel Kiper Jr. and co-host Mitch Goldich dive into their updated Top 150 NFL Draft board, just 17 days before the draft. They discuss key risers and fallers, with a focus on positional value, team needs, and NFL front office conversations. Key risers include Carnell Tate, who’s projected to go higher than expected due to his elite route-running and zero drops this season, and Devin Moore, a physically gifted corner with injury history but elite athleticism who could be a late-round steal. Fallers include Avion Terrell, whose poor pro day performance and hamstring issues may drop him, and Jeremy Bernard, whose grade fell from 50 to 78 due to concerns about his size, route running, and consistency. The hosts debate the top 11 players likely to go in the top 12 picks, highlighting Arvel Reese, Fernando Mendoza, and Sonny Stiles as elite prospects, while also discussing the evolving landscape of the cornerback position, with Jermod McCoy now ranked as a top-10 talent after a strong pro day despite a year-long absence. They also introduce the 'Don’t Be Surprised If...' segment, spotlighting under-the-radar players like Moore and the potential for Ohio State’s Stiles and Tate to land in the top five. The episode closes with a preview of upcoming content, including a mock draft 4.0 and final board updates.
